PS: Tested with Team Silverblue Rawhide, last error:

error: Could not depsolve transaction; 1 problem detected:
0. nothing provides libvpx.so.4()(64bit) needed by VirtualBox-5.2-5.2.0_118431_fedora26-1.x86_64

Thank you very much, with the following commands it works well and without erros in Fedora 30 Silverblue
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/virtualbox.repo
rpm-ostree install VirtualBox

Any pointers to install the Virtualbox extension as well? I have VB working nicely, but without the 2.0/3.0 drivers from the extension, this is not overly useful.

If you download the .rpm from https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/
...then you can install it with "rpm-ostree install VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.32_149290_fedora33-1.x86_64.rpm" (change filename to suit)
I also had to run "sudo vboxconfig"
